Introduction to Creative Industries

This programme offers young people ages 16-25 the opportunity to develop personal and social skills as well as specific skills in the creative subjects of music performance, drama, art, digital media, photography and creative writing.

College based days will include creating music performances including some instruments and developing singing, being part of drama productions, visual art and photography and learning about different artists and developing creative writing techniques and storytelling.

Other personal and social opportunities to develop life skills that include undertaking a vocational taster and participating in department competitions, tutorials and developing citizenship skills.

This programme leads to a Gateway in creative Industries at Entry 3 or Level 1. Young people will also get the chance to undertake a City & Guilds Stepping Stone qualification in English and math or a functional skills qualification depending on their current ability and qualifications on entry. For more details contact Assistant Head Of Department – Cambridge Campus – Jen Pryke EHCP Manager - Sharon Baldock

Students must have successfully completed Entry 2 or 3 level qualifications or hold Maths and English qualifications at Entry 2 or above. In addition to the entry qualifications listed, the offer of a place on the course is subject to the outcomes of initial assessment, which will be taken at the College as part of the admissions process. Please note that entry criteria may vary quite significantly between courses at the same level. This is to take account of the specific skills needed for success on particular courses, the length of the course and the requirements for progression to the next level. Entry criteria are given as a guide, and the exact requirements in order to obtain a place on a particular course will be confirmed following attendance at a Welcome Event/Interview.

We want you to achieve to the very best of your ability at CRC. To make this happen we offer both learning and personal support by specialist staff tailored to meet your specific needs. Students will have their needs assessed, if you have an EHCP your plan needs to be considered at the same time as your application to do this course.
